The original 196 community mods embaces becoming PTBs and instantly sudokus all goodwill and trust by locking 196 and attempting to move it to lemmy.world without any community feedback.

They then post a we're sorry you don't like our decisions we'll get back to you after voting but we gotta wait till everyone's awake(this is what I got out of their half-assed post, also what do they mean??? Like you're gonna wait till everyone's simutaneously awake really?)

They then unlock the community ~~for only lemmy.world users~~ (after seeing the blacklash on the same post and many others) and then proceeds to fail at coaxing people to come back and post to the original community instead of the new alternative here.

They essentially fired a nuke at the community which is also their headquarters, then makes a half-assed apology?, and finally begs people to come back and rebuild the community that was destroyed by their own hands.

I'd recommend also checking out @spujb's post as I might be missing some details here.

That first sentence is just wild. Three layers of urban dictionary deep.

All Correct except

They then unlock the community for only lemmy.world users

They didn’t intend the unlock to be instance specific—it was a federation issue of some kind where the unlock didn’t successfully propagate everywhere. It should (?) be available for all instances now.

Fair enough and thanks for the clarification!🤗

Oh I thought they were confused about :3. I don't understand the significance of that.
